“The tranquil horror of this moment. […] This I immediately understood. It was as if the former dull ache that had earlier lived only outside consciousness suddenly emerged, gathered itself into a sharp point, penetrated the barrier between heart and thought, and found form, manifestation, word. My blind sufferings, the torture of spirit and body […] that was precisely the eclipse, the eclipse, the eclipse itself.”

[Elisa]
